How much would you pay for a box of rocks? We’re not talking about normal America rocks here, either. This is a box of the finest Chinese stones, delicately wrapped in the latest Chinese newspaper. $200? $300? How about $138?

That’s how much one Florida woman, Jodi Wykle, paid. For some reason, however she was disappointed enough with the results to complain to Wal-Mart–the store that sold the rocks, which were tucked snugly inside a DSi box. Wykel had purchased the box for her teenage son as a birthday present.

She later described the unfortunate unboxing: “When he opened it, he was pulling the seal off, my sister-in-law carries a pocket knife and she opened it and that’s when he pulled it out and it was Chinese newspaper and a bunch of rocks.”

Wal-Mart initially refused to take the rocks back, deferring to Nintendo, which did the same. Ultimately, Wal-Mart gave in when it was discovered that not only was the box full of rocks, it was full of rocks that had already been returned to the store by a previous customer. The store ended up giving Wykle a refund and a gift certificate for $20, which was likely invested in something safe. Like some rock music.
